Navigation

This help is based on the layout of the MoinMoinmodernized theme. If the modernized theme is not your current theme, the positions and labels of navigation controls may be slightly different. However, the functions of the individual controls will be the same.

Screen Layout

The screen layout contains the following parts (from top to bottom):

Page header

Navigation bar, a collection of tabs for quick links

Dynamic message box

Actions toolbar

Canvas for page rendering

Actions toolbar, same as part 4

Page bottom

The first four parts are the most important and will be introduced below.

Page Header

This part contains the following elements:

Site logo (optional): it is also a link to the front page (home).

User login:

not logged in: offers a link to log in

logged in: shows your user name (links to your home page), provides a link to user preferences (Settings) and a logout link.

Search bar: allows you to search this site. The default button (you get it by hitting <ENTER>) does a title search. If you want to do a full text search, you need to click on the other button.

Page path: shows the path of the page. Clicking on the page title link will show every page that refers this page. If it is a subpage, you can click on the parent page to go up.

Page trail: lists the last five pages visited, so you can jump back several pages easily. You have to enable Show page trail to see it.

Navigation Bar

This part is a collection of tabs for quick links. By default, there are three tabs:

RecentChanges, links to a page to show recent modifications of the wiki
